Cocoon2 running with Tomcat + directory rendering issue (possible bug?)

[Neeme Praks <ne...@one.lv>]

I successfully managed to get Cocoon2 running with Tomcat 3.1 beta (on
W2K).
I would also document this, and I have a question regarding the
documentation. Are these XML files written by hand? Or is there some
existing editor for this? I suspect that they are written by hand?

Also, after playing around with Cocoon2 and trying out the samples, I
found that the directory rendering doesn't work on the root directory
("/servlet/Cocoon/")... When processing the URI, the CocoonServlet
always removes the first slash from the URI. However, in the case of
root directory, this results in empty URI. I fixed it by adding a check
for the length of the URI:

Index: CocoonServlet.java

<             if (uri.charAt(0)=='/') uri=uri.substring(1);
---
>             if (uri.charAt(0)=='/' && uri.length() > 1)
uri=uri.substring(1);


Is this ok?
